Grow & Get Lifted.
There are only TWO things that would calm me down right now. My ex, or weed. And it just so fucking happens that I have NEITHER so I’m FUCKED right now and I don’t give a good god damn about shit dude. I paid $8 for this WHACK ass club and $2.50 for a beer I DON’T EVEN DRINK cause I’m a good friend was there for 10 minutes and had to leave because I swear for goodness if ONE nigga woulda bumped me, stepped on my toe, ruffled my pant leg or even LOOKED at me wrong tonight would have gone extremely bad.
And I’m fuckin out.
Oh and FUCK Tmobile.
I’ll admit.
But I’m smart too. Kinda fashionable. Whatever.
Idk. I mean what differenciates me from alot of other assholes is that at leat 89% of the time I know what the fuck I’m talkin about. Most of these niggas just be blowin smoke and shit.
Whatever
Well tumblr. It’s 2:40 AM, hot as fuck, and I can’t sleep. So I figured I’d share a thought or two tonight…
Me and my lady were watchin NBC’s new show Awake the other night, which is pretty good so far, I might add. Anyways.. this episode was about the main character, who is a police officer, and his son. A man who was framed for a murder some 10 years ago broke out of prison. This guy, apparently, had a son who OD’d on something and he went and killed the dealer, then got life in prison. Well, this officer is the one that arrested him. So he breaks out and kidnaps his son.
Don’t worry, I’m gettin there.
Did I mention the escapee was a black man, and the cop and his son are white? Well, they are. Lol. So he takes this kid out far in the desert to some shack. The kid immediately starts at the man screamin “You should know my dad is a cop. They will be looking for me in no time.” Or something like that.
Now please people. I know. I know. This is a script and yadda yadda ya.. Ta hell wit all that. Movies and tv shows play out racial stereotypes allll thee fuckin time so I don’t want to hear it.
This is where I can’t stand movies/shows sometime. White people are so confident, so secure, so SURE that someone, ANYone will come and rescue them. They just know that somebody is going to find them. It’s like they believe that at some random time someone’s spidey senses are going to tingle or some shit. But that’s not even what’s fuckin me up about the whole thing..
First off, before I go any further, let me just say that I have never had to personally deal with a missing person case or even known anyone who has, so I apologize for my insensitivity if I offend anybody.
But.. looking at this from a real life perspective.. I would haaaate to be a black kid, gone missing. This white boy was so sure his dad was going to find him. And, lets just negate the fact that his dad was a cop because they woulda been looking regardless, in my opinion. But if I was a black kid, I would be terrified cause I just knoooow that ain’t nobody out there lookin for my black ass. I’m sure it depends on where you live and blah blah blah but on a grand scale? They just are not as adamant about finding missing black people. Hell, I would think that the only way you have a real chance of being looked for as hard is if your mother/father is a cop or if you’re someone in an important position (i.e. el presidente). And the kid in the show is 16.. 17 or somethin. Like.. real nigga shit, if I’m 16/17 and someone takes me, I’m probably thinkin like “I got a better chance of beatin this motha fucka down than I do of being found. Fuck it. Split this dudes bean and run for it nigga!” But just imagine if you were like… 5 or something. You don’t even knoooow that you’re not gonna be found. And worse than that, you’re not old enough to understand that the reason you won’t be found is because you’re black!! It’s crazy man. Yes, white kids/women go missing all of the time as well but go and google “missing black children” hell you don’t even have to type it all cause google will finish that shit for you! you’ll get to “missing bla-” and the options will be like “missing black children/women/girl”. Now go and google “missing white-” You know what comes up? “missing white woman syndrome”. Forreal? Please. I’m not even gonna go there right now. It just sucks that like.. all of the bad things that can happen to people. Like.. dude. You can be anyyyy other race. Dude can come up to you with a gun and shoot you and the news will say that he’s just crazy. But a black person. Someone randomly comes and shoot you, 9/10 my guess is because you’re black and they’ll call it a hate crime, talk about WE as a COUNTRY needs to stop hate crimes for like a fuckin day, then you’ll never hear about it again.. Unless it’s another black person. Then its a “black on black” problem. This society is fucked.
So whilst listening to one of my morning talk shows on the radio on the way to my 8 AM class this morning, they were asking callers this question, “What do you do the night before you KNOW you are going to jail?” I was thinkin to myself like.. who the hell is going to call in to a radio station and tell the whole east coast they’re jail story. (Enter, white people [sorry but it’s true lol] ). The story goes a lil somethin like this:
A woman calls in anonymous. She is due to report to the prison/jail by noon today. Her parents, who are in their mid 70’s, I believe. They were both pretty ill but had almost no financial support. So they lied and said they were divorced, and subsequently filed for/claimed disability. Now good ol ‘merica makes it damn near impossible to live off of disability, unless you’re military pretty much. They were only gettin about $900 a month (I’m not sure if that was combined or individual). So anywho, the old woman dies,survived by her husband, and somehow Uncle Sam finds out the couple lied and they were charged with Disability Fraud. They were going to send him to jail, but his daughter wasn’t havin that. In spite of her husband pleading no, and her father 100% against it, she “testifies” and lies under oath that it was in fact her who lied (I assume she shares the same name as her mother?) Anyway, the judge sentences her, the daughter, to 3-5 years. WHAT?
They asked her about her family and how the days leading up to today were. She says that her four children, who are 4, 5, 6, & 7, spent the night baking cupcakes. After they went to sleep, she says that her and her husband cried all night long. She said her dad greatly disapproved but she was not going to let him go to prison at 70 years old. She said in his condition, there’s no way he would have survived. She told her children that when you love someone, you do every thing in your power to protect them.
Now, I completely understand the love she is showing for her father. But I cannot agree with this. These are two grown people, who new fairly well what they were doing. I am torn because, it really is a terrible situation, and maybe I would be a little more understanding if the sentence was like… a year? That’s pushin it. But 3-5 years?! I mean.. shit.. minimum sentence.. and you’re best bet is prolly like 2 1/2 years with good behavior. And there’s no gettin off because if they find out you lied under oath well… that’s it for you. The only people I can think of that are going to do jail time for other people are gang members and goons or someone’s “strong arm” (and by goons I mean niggas like Tony Yayo, not in the sense that he’s scary but I’m sure 50 sent him to do some dirt back in the day). I’m sorry but I am NOT leavin my wife and four kids to do time to save someone’s ass. Especially not that amount of time.
